Q:I understand, this time of year the bush will not have any leaves or flowers and will ship as pictured, bare. Does this lose all leaves and flowers each year in the off season from November - April?

Answer This Question

A:  I think it depends where you are located. In northern FL it does NOT lose all of its leaves.

    A:  Mine does.

    by|Dec 12, 2022

      A:  Hello, thank you for contacting us. We are happy to help! Our Blue Chip Jr goes into dormancy during the cold months (usually November-April depending on where you live) meaning it will lose its foliage and blooms during that time. I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com Kind Regards, Allie

        Q:I live in Marin California. I think we are zone 10. Will these do well here?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello, thank you for asking. We are happy to help! Our Proven Winners Lo and Behold 'Blue Chip Jr' thrives in zones 5-9. zone 10 would get a little too hot for it so we do not recommend planting it there. I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com Kind Regards, Allie

            A:  Yes. I cut mine back every year. I split them 1 year and 66% survived. 4 out of 6 splits.

                A:  Yes the bush can be cut back but I sure don't want to do that and yes you can take a piece and root it.

                  A:  Hello Marc, thank you for asking. We are happy to help. Prune in spring, after the new growth emerges. The warmer your climate, the more you should cut back your butterfly bush each spring. Left unpruned, large butterfly bushes can become “second story” plants: their flowers form way up at the top so you can’t enjoy them unless you have a second-story window. They cannot be split into more plants. I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com. Kind Regards, Allie

                    Very Disappointed
                    I made the mistake of looking at this beautiful plant in the photo. These are tiny little plants for the price. Really Home Depot?

                        I have been very pleased with everything I've gotten from Proven Winners so far! Only had this bush in the pot for about 2 weeks, but it appears to be thriving! It is starting to flower now. Looks like it is going to be very fast grower too.

                          Full sun with water 2-3 x a week and you have a beautiful bush in 6 weeks. This is facing south in Los Angeles, so sun is strong 8 hours a daym

                            As much as I love the convenience of ordering online and ship to home.. these 3 plant purchases were an extreme disappointment. I have ordered plants this way previously and they showed up beautifully green and in bloom.. These did not.. hoping to get my money back, about 60.00 worth of mostly dead, dried up plants.

                              Great plant and Customer Service
                              I ordered two plants and they arrived healthy. Even though we were in the middle of a heatwave the plants were well watered and well packed prior to leaving the nursery as they arrived and the soil was not dry and the plants were healthy and some branches still had blooms. The plants were also a proper size— not small or anything.
